What is Brown Friday?

The day after Thanksgiving, and the single busiest day of the year for drain cleaning and emergency plumbing calls. Not a coincidence. A full house, a sink full of grease and food scraps, and a lot more flushing than your line normally sees.

How to stay off the call list:

Put a food catcher in the sink
Grease goes in a can, never down the drain
Get slow drains looked at before the big meal, not after
If your drains already smell like sewer, get them scoped. That is usually a backup or a root intrusion telling you early.

The cheapest drain call is the one you book in November instead of on the holiday weekend.

Meet the Lining Division.

This is the crew that fixes sewer lines without tearing up your yard. One crew, one rig, two small access points, and a new pipe formed inside the old one.

Trenchless lining is not a shortcut. It takes its own equipment, its own training, and people who have done enough of them to know when a line qualifies and when it does not. That is why these guys exist as their own division instead of a side skill.

Minimal digging. Maximum expertise. Your grass stays where it is.

If you have been told your line needs to be excavated, get a camera in it first. It might not.

From the Tech, episode 9. Anthony, on a call he still thinks about.

Can you fix a pipe without the dig?

Usually, yes. A camera goes down the line first. If the pipe can hold a liner, we form a new one inside it rather than dig it up. Minimal excavation, and a liner built to last 50 years.

Free camera inspection.

Gurgling fixtures, slow drains, sewer odors or a spongy patch of lawn are early signs of a sewer problem. A camera shows us what's going on before anyone talks about digging.

Book at cappsplumbing.com or call (847) 268-3600.

Cold comes early here.

A hose bib cover is not enough on its own. Before the first hard freeze: disconnect the hose, shut the inside valve and drain the line.

Not sure your home is ready? Call (847) 268-3600 or send us a message.

A six-hour sewer job. Back already. The yard's fine.

Our sewer lining division is doing this to people. One access point, a camera and a liner, and the lawn stays where it is.
